'Hi James, here is a photo of the mammatus clouds which moved over Wellington for about 3 hours on 10 October 2010. My photo, taken at 09:52, from one of the tracks around Hawkins Hill on the south coast, was taken looking southwest but the area of mammatus circled around and was later visible in the east over Wellington Harbour. Weather at the time was strong westerly winds with varying amounts of cloud in advance of the cold southerly front which arrived late that evening.
Cheers, Kevin'

'Sunrise over the Raukumara ranges taken from Ohiwa Beach, near Opotiki at 08:11 on 11 September 2010. The photo looks like a vision from an early settler's interpretation of a New Zealand landscape. The cloud bank hanging above gave the feeling of a door opening up to a new world. Photograph taken on an Olympus u1030SW camera on a landscape setting' wrote Anastacia.

'Hi James, ploughing through some old pics of Mt Taranaki out of nostalgia and came across this photo that I took back in mid January 2010. The makings of a southerly lay a korowai over the flanks of Taranaki and spun some pretty neat orographic formations above the summit. It was taken early in the morning from Weld Rd beach near Oakura with a Canon Power Shot G7. We use your website at work pretty much every day to help us plan the week's field trips out on the marine farms in the sounds. Thanks heaps! Cheers, Ellie.'

Lyn Peterson

'A gorgeous morning taken from the Upper Motueka bridge, near Tapawera looking northwest towards the Twin Peaks and Mt Arthur at 10:30 on 11 October 2010. If I turned south it was snowing on the St Arnaud Range and the brisk southwesterly made the temperature feel about 5 degrees! Such a late snow fall doesn't bode well for the inevitable frost for the berry and fruit growers. Taken with my Canon IXUS 8015' wrote Lyn.

'Hi James. Always a clever idea to check the weather when you head up to the Tongariro Summit, where it appears these folks were going at 13:25 on 4 October 2010. We had absolutely stunning weather (as forecasted!) for our wicked stomp up to the Emerald Lakes. We loved how the snow swirls were glowing! Shot with my Pentax K-7, Thanks Jodi.'

Ellie Watts

'My partner and I scrambled up Mt Arthur in Kahurangi National Park on Sunday afternoon 3 October 2010 after the stunning dump of snow the previous week. The weather forecast was perfect for spending the night on the summit - or so we thought. A foreboding southerly teased some cloud over the summit rocks. Fog formed in the valleys after sunset and oozed over a saddle beside the summit. All amounted to a very blustery night and a frozen tent and gear in the morning! Taken with a Canon Power Shot G7 and left up to the Auto device. Cheers, Ellie Watts.'
